S 2249: Revises number of qualified disabled veterans' businesses required to designate set-aside contract from three to two.

This bill changes New Jersey's requirement for designating set-aside contracts for disabled veterans' businesses, reducing the number of qualified businesses needed from three to two. It directly affects state contracting agencies and disabled veterans' businesses by making it easier to qualify for these set-aside contracts, which reserve work for veteran-owned businesses. The change aligns New Jersey's standard with federal guidelines and neighboring states, addressing challenges caused by the low number of registered disabled veterans' businesses in the state. The amendment modifies existing law to allow set-asides when at least two qualified businesses can bid fairly on the contract.

A 5495: Clarifies types of firearms allowed to be carried or transported while hunting.*

This bill clarifies that hunters with a valid handgun permit (under N.J.S.2C:58-4) or who are authorized to carry handguns generally (under N.J.S.2C:39-6) may carry those handguns while hunting. It explicitly permits carrying but prohibits using handguns to hunt any game, maintaining existing restrictions on firearm types for hunting. The bill amends New Jersey's hunting statutes (R.S.23:4-44, -12, and -13) to add this exception, aligning with recent changes to handgun permit laws following the *New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen* Supreme Court decision. It directly affects licensed hunters who carry handguns for personal protection during hunting activities.
